Thistle.....

.....as seen under the macro lens--my entry for TinyTuesday! I really liked the softness of the out of focus purple bloom!
Tom left this morning for an overnight visit to his sisters' place--about a 5 hour drive--& I would have loved to go along but I had some testing scheduled for this morning that I couldn't miss. It isn't often that he goes alone, & I told him I'm not watching anything spooky on tv today or I'll be awake all night because I'm freaked out & hearing noises--I'm not used to being home by myself anymore!! Haha!     :{
